Don't Wake Daddy

Don't Wake Daddy was a board game where you had to get to the kitchen without waking up "daddy". Each turn you would have to push the button next to daddy's bed and if he popped up after you pressed it then you had to go back to the start.

The point of this game was basically the title. You'd sneak around the board, careful not to turn on any lights or make loud noises that would wake Daddy! It seems a bit odd looking back on it. . . why were they so afraid of their father?
